The main reason behind the United States’ push to ban social media application TikTok is due to Israel’s image rather than fears of Chinese infiltrations, congressional insiders have revealed.
At the Munich Security Conference, US Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, said he wished to reveal what he called the “real story” behind the recent legislations to restrict the Chinese-owned application.
“So we had a bipartisan consensus,” Gallagher said. “We had the executive branch, but the bill was still dead until October 7th. And people started to see a bunch of antisemitic content on the platform and our bill had legs again.”
A memo produced by the State Department for its Near East Affairs diplomats, which Klippenstein obtained, describes how Israel’s deputy director general for public diplomacy at the foreign ministry, Emmanuel Nahshon, blamed the youth’s opposition to the war on Gaza on TikTok’s algorithm.
“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature,” he said in May. “If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites - it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts.”
Nikki Haley, another former Republican presidential candidate who last year infamously signed an Israeli bomb meant for Gaza with “finish them”, said she believed that simply watching videos on TikTok would make a user antisemitic.
The word “antisemitic” is being misused in a disgusting way here. The victims of the Israeli genocide are also a Semitic people.
Thank you! I’ve been saying this since forever, and all I ever got was (in a shorter form) “Antisemite doesn’t include those people anymore, it’s only for the jewish people”.
Like hell it is! Israel is the biggest antisemite nation of them all.
Also a fair critic of Israeli government action isn’t antisemitic just like a fair critic of Iranian governments isn’t islamophobia.
While there is an antisemitic critic of Israel, raising concerns regarding human rights isn’t antisemitic nor supporting the hamas.
There is no such thing as a semitic people.
Race and people are different things though.
Shocking no one but the most dense apologists of the move.
Israeli interests control US policy. See also: grass is green.

Which state is the puppet? Because it seems like it’s America at this point.
America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Israel, Inc. since 1947
“We had a bipartisan consensus that this needed to be done, but there wasn’t enough enthusiasm until Israel was threatened”
Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately.
Not going to say I told you so but…ah fuck it I told you so.
